One of the biggest barriers that people face when considering buying a cold plunge is the price. If you’re looking for a full-featured cold plunge tub with a chiller, you can expect to pay anywhere from $3,000 to over $10,000. Some of the plunges we’ve reviewed charge $2,500 or more just for the chiller. Which is why the most common question I’m asked as GearJunkie’s resident “cold plunge guy” is if there’s an affordable cold plunge that’s any good. My answer is always the Polar Dive PRO Cold Plunge ($899). While I was skeptical at first, after a few months…
Look, guns in schools might not be an automatically awful thing, but when those guns are in the hands of students instead of responsible adults, there’s a problem. That’s one of the few things we can all seem to agree on. And while AI is being looked at in a lot of places to detect firearms, the technology isn’t without its problems. I mean, at least one system thought a bag of Doritos was a gun.They might be banging, but that doesn’t make them a firearm.Yet in Gulf Breeze, Florida, police there are looking at…
When you injure a section of your body, it will take some time to regain your full capabilities. You can, however, work with other muscle groups and body parts that are not injured, depending on the severity of your injury. While some detraining is expected in the injured area, you have no reason to get completely deconditioned in other areas of fitness. Here is a question from a reader who says he broke his arm and has a cast below the elbow:I broke my arm a few days ago. What advice do you have to not go crazy with this…

Ounces equal pounds, and pounds equal pain: A phrase that rings true with most backcountry hunters. In other words, we want our gear to be as lightweight and compressible as possible without giving up too much functionality or comfort. The folks at SITKA Gear are very familiar with living out of a backpack, and in light of the beginning phrase, created the MicroDown Hooded Jacket. It’s micro in size, but macro in warmth — a perfect combo for a backpack hunter. In short: Hunters looking for a compressible lightweight insulation piece will be pleased with the MicroDown Jacket from SITKA.…
MSG Earl Plumlee, a Medal of Honor recipient, said that a new law delivering a major increase to living recipients’ pensions “balances the scale” between those who served the United States honorably both in service and out of it.The United States’ highest heroes will reap the benefits from Monetary Enhancement for Distinguished Active Legends, or MEDAL Act, approved by Congress and signed Monday by President Donald Trump. It creates a new formula that increases monthly payments from $1,489.73 to $5,625. Annually, that equates to roughly $67,500 in annual honorarium—about a four-fold increase from the current annual special pension of $16,880.76.The…
That magical time of year is right around the corner, as heralded by too-early decorations and pre-Thanksgiving Christmas carols. Need a few ideas on what to get the Gun Guy (or gal) in your life? Here’s a few items that have been the highlight of my last year in reviewing. Drill Index Shooting Cards Too often, range sessions devolve into an unfocused shooting session with less training value than expected. Never get caught out at a loss for training ideas with the original Drill Index. 64 drills with standards printed out on 2.75″x4.75″ heavy varnished cards, full of different ways…
This article originally appeared on The Inertia. It would be tough to find a ski resort on the planet where people without helmets outnumber those wearing them. It’s one of the single largest shifts in safety adopted by everyday skiers and snowboarders in the last 30 years. It’s not just a safety trend that the masses got on board with. However, in Italy, helmets are now actually required by law for everyone. As of Nov. 1, 2025, all skiers, snowboarders, and even tobogganers in Italy are required to wear CE-certified helmets (Conformité Européenne), which certifies that a product has met EU health and…
Lewiston, Maine, isn’t a place most of us had heard about before the mass shooting there. Maine isn’t a highly populated state, so it’s not really the center of attention for most of us. Yet the Lewiston shooting changed a lot there. While the state had been pretty pro-gun despite being deeply blue, it has embraced a number of anti-gun measures in the aftermath.None of those, however, seemed to do much to stop the alleged actions of a city council member-elect in Lewiston, who is not having the best year ever.Iman Osman, 36, who was…
To understand the new politics stance and other pro nationals of recent times, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation. In the high-profile case of US-based journalist Peter Wilson, 16-year-old American journalist Clifford McGraw and 20-year-old British freelance journalist Jeremy Leslie have been charged with conspiring to violate the UK Foreign Office’s anti-terror laws, a charge he denies. On Monday, UK attorney Andy McDonald revealed that he had spoken. “Few worry about catching Covid anymore, as it’s just a matter of time before they do,” says Tea, a teacher at a school for…

Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn The Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn region is a magnificent area with high mountain ranges, glaciers and is actually the most glaciated part of the European Alps. Visiting this area can be done relatively easy by car and if you want to go up, by train up to 3,400 metres above sea level, the highest train ride in Europe, the Jungfrau Railway is very impressive (and expensive!). The area is on the UNESCO World Heritage list because of its unique and wide range of flora and fauna and geological importance regarding the creating of the High Alps.
